    http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=4579&position=SS#fielding he was "worse" defensively in 2011, but that was at SS, so it was more valuable than being as bad as he is at 2B this year. he's a couple runs worse than he graded out at 2B last year. nothing that should raise any eyebrows. it's not like offensive production can't vary wildly from year to year (especially in the case of starlin castro)...obviously it's easier for the layman to see but that doesn't, in itself, place the fielding metrics into question.

    http://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dont_you_say_that_billy_madison.gif WE CAN HAVE ENJOYED TWO THINGS. i saw the last post first with this one embedded into your response and i misread it as having come from you. i was shocked at the dose of realism. now everything makes sense again.

    I wouldn't say that 8-8 is relatively high that sounds about right. It is relatively high when we've been placed at the bottom of the league by some.

    Figured PFF would be relatively high on us...8th in NFC https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-cardinals-own-top-spot-in-first-nfc-projections-of-2016/

    I'm not seeing it on front page, but you can link but clicking through to cubs articles tab on front page. Tim might have to put it on the front page. Here is a link, though: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/articles/cubs-articles/24-statcast-fun-with-addison-russell if my last post doesn't make my feelings obvious, good stuff, man. just need to find a way to get eyeballs on these.

    Agree that Zagunis looks like an interesting prospect. Obviously no standout tools, so he's not a significant trade chip. But a guy who's consistently .400+ OBP, consistently .800+ OPS, and consistently at least .400 slugging, and who has at least a little athleticism, that's got to be a candidate to be a useful major leaguer. Got a chance to be a professional hitter. And he's still young enough that there's some chance for improvement. A little more power? A little more drive and less ground balls? Sometimes it's the best and smartest hitters who are best able to identify and adjust to minimize their flaws. This will sound dumb, but he reminds me a little of a Cardinals prospect. Seemed they often had these college players, who weren't big tools guys and were never highly rated prospects, and who didn't come up young. But when some need created an opportunity, they so often seemed to have a next-man-up who was able to play solid, professional baseball. Could imagine Zagunis having a trajectory like that. Is he still catching or am I confusing him with someone else? If so, the bolded sounds a lot like Jason Kendall. he was compared to jason kendall coming out of the draft iirc but he is playing OF now

    was it grote? i hate how he talks. Grote is quite annoying but this wasn't him. David something. OHH Schuster
  9. David
    so if he's out your estimated time, he prob misses like 7 appearances...5 of which are tune ups in save opps
  10. David
    were you the guy who said he gets easily rattled like 10 days ago or was that someone else? asking for a friend
  11. David
    was it grote? i hate how he talks.
  12. David
    yeah i don't give up contreras to take on a little more than a rental of lucroy and $100M in obligation to 32 year old braun
  13. David
    if only they could hit as consistently as you complain Well, for some reason he wasn't around to post at all during the winning streak, so what do you expect? i honestly thought my perception couldn't possibly be accurate so i clicked his post history the one post that came up that could even somewhat qualify as positive was about victor robles

    rondon probably has the shits or something even if he WERE hurt (which i'd imagine we would've heard of since it obviously didn't happen in the game), i'm not really ready to lose sleep over the closer who gets into games once a week on the team that has the division locked up in early june possibly being hurt
  17. David
    why do you say this to me when you know i will kill you for it
  18. David
    lester hasn't really labored at all. i'm fine at giving him a shot at the cg
  19. David
    jon is horsefeathering awesome
  20. David
    yeah he got to 3 balls and then did everything he possibly could not to walk i was going to laugh if he reached on that dead squibber
  21. David
    i love that javy is walking up to informer lmao
  22. David
    but seriously, imagine fowler, lucroy, rizzo, bryant, zobrist, braun, heyward, russell even good heyward would deserve to hit 7th in that lineup
  23. David
    absolutely nothing we do will move the needle, in reality.
  24. David
    WTF rizz
